Guests Who Witnessed Wedding-Day Walkouts Are Sharing Their Stories, And Wow

Runaway brideIt’s officially wedding season, which means hen and stag parties, dress shopping, and delicious cakes galore. But depending on the happy (or not-so-happy) couple, it can spell some serious drama too.Writing to Reddit’s r/AskReddit, site user u/pimpyocean seemed to want to delve much more into the latter. “People who left their partner the day of the wedding, what happened?” they asked. Here are some of the most-upvoted replies (though most of them ended up being from the guests’ perspectives, not the would-be bride or groom’s): 1) “My brother went to this engagement party, everything was great, nothing out of the ordinary.” “Wedding comes around three months later, he shows up – and it’s a totally different bride.Same groom, same date, same invite, just… new bride. No explanation.”Credit:u/zzibhai2) “My friend did this like 20-odd years ago.”“She was engaged to a guy from a very well-off family. The wedding was in California, but they were living in Seattle. Very posh, very expensive.“But the mother-in-law (MIL) was always horrible to her. Right at the beginning of the reception, the MIL came up and said some nasty things to her in a whisper, thinking she would just take it again.“She lost it, families got involved, and she ended up on a plane back home that night. Her family had already started moving her things out of the apartment that evening.“Never spoke to him again.” Credit:u/sail_juice_plz3) “Six years ago in March, my fiancé and I decided to postpone our wedding.” “The weekend the wedding would have been, he left me home alone to spend the weekend with his parents.“His parents posted all over Facebook that they were celebrating him not getting married to me and were celebrating his ‘new girlfriend’, a friend of ours whom he constantly told me not to worry about.“My mum screenshot all the posts, drove an hour out to where I was and said, ‘What are we going to do here?’“I took a HOT shower and cried, then we packed all of my stuff up and left a letter to him on the dining room table with the ring.” Credit:u/Clean_Awareness4) “We called it the ‘non-wedding.’”“It was a very small, backyard ’do. when we showed up, a relative of the groom ushered us out back and whispered that the wedding was off, but they had all this food and to help ourselves.“Apparently, just that morning, the groom found out that the bride had cheated, but his family said they’d already spent all the money on the party, so they figured they’d just tell people when they arrived.“It was one of the most awkward experiences of my life because the groom just sat dejectedly in a chair while people tried to cheer him up. We ate a little out of obligation and then got the hell out of there.” Credit:u/Empkat5) “My cousin’s backyard shotgun wedding.” “She changed her mind because they got in a fight that morning. My uncle still made BBQ, and it just turned into a typical family hangout.“They got married the next weekend anyway. Not a very exciting story.“They are still married 22 years and three kids later, though, so that’s something.” Credit:u/Suitable_cataclysmDo you have anything to add? Let us know!
